 Grief Counseling

This counseling provides a safe place of comfort and support for those individuals in need of help, hope, and healing as they cope with the death of a loved one. Working in partnership with GriefShare, we meet you where you are, without judgement.

GriefShare is a 13-week support group program where you will discover what to expect in the days ahead and what’s “normal” in grief. You will also learn helpful ways of coping with grief, in all its unpredictability—and gain solid support each step of the way.

At each weekly meeting, you will view a video featuring respected counselors, pastors, and healthcare professionals on grief-related topics, plus you’ll hear relatable personal stories of grief. After that is a small-group discussion to allow people time to talk, share support, and personally apply what they learned on the video. Topics include how to manage grief-related emotions such as loneliness, anxiety, sadness, anger, and regret; how to cope with the changes in your life and relationships; and how to recognize what’s normal in grief and what to do if you feel stuck or hopeless.

If you would like to sign up to join a Grief Share support group, please reach out to our ministry facilitator to learn how to join.

Premarital Counseling

Our goal is to prepare couples for marriage. You’ll discover the joy of learning and knowing your fiancé at levels you never imagined. You’ll know how to apply and experience God’s Word as it relates to dating and marriage. Ultimately, you’ll discover if you indeed are “fit to be tied.” We aim to make this ministry available not only to our church, but to our immediate community and beyond, so that everyone can know and understand the importance and the joys of marriage.

Marriage Counseling

This counseling helps couples discover God’s original plan for their marriage that they might become doers of His Word in their relationships. Couples must move from “knowing what to do” to “doing what they know,” and in the process, healing can take place.

The heart of the ministry is that all marriages at The Church at Bethel’s Family come under the authority and power of God’s Word and are led by the Holy Spirit, in order for their marriages to reflect Christ’s relationship to the Church (Ephesians 5:21-33).

In addition to counseling, the Marriage Ministry offers an inspiring and enlightening Sunday School class for married couples. Class is held every Sunday at 9:45 a.m. in the Youth Worship Center.

Youth Counseling

Our heart for the youth at The Church at Bethel’s Family is to know Christ and His Word and to understand that His Word speaks to every situation they will ever encounter (1 Corinthians 10:13).  We aim to help our youth discover that problems are avenues by which the Holy Spirit convicts them to acknowledge their human limitations and declare their need for God’s wisdom and power in their lives. This biblical counseling can take place in scheduled sessions or informal conversations and should result in our youth experiencing the hope and healing that God offers in His Word.
